1987 Mazda RX7 Coupe review from North America
"I fell in love as soon as I saw it and I would buy another one in a heartbeat"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The emergency brake cable froze on me.
The interior trim cracks easily with its old age.
I replaced the starter and battery.
I replaced the plugs and wires.
I replaced many wires due to corrosion.
I replaced all hoses.
I re-soldered main solder joints in the computer to repair a faulty horn and erratic idiot lights.
General comments?
I just want to say that this car was an excellent car and it was very fun to drive. It handled extremely well and would eat up other imports that challenged it.
I recently rolled this car over twice and though it is a very sad thing for me, it protected myself and my passenger very well. Not a single injury. Thank you MAZDA.
